Yukiko: How did your meeting with Justin go?

James: It went well. We talked about improving the checkout flow.

Yukiko: That’s good. What direction did you suggest?

Why did you buy me flowers?
I didn’t ask for flowers.
I said flour for making a cake!

 

But these are so beautiful. Thank you.
Next time, though, please listen a little more carefully.

 

Don’t get me wrong.
I didn’t forget to buy flour for a cake.
I have it right here. See?

 

I just thought those flowers would make you smile after the stressful week you’ve been having.
